"unprovoked invasion of its neighbor" -- have you not heard of the 14,000 killed in Donbass over the last eight years?

And what were they doing in Ukraine to get themselves killed?

They weren't in Ukraine. They were in the People's Republic of Donetsk or the People's Republic of Luhansk. They voted overwhelmingly to leave Ukraine in 2014 after the nationalists overthrew the government took over in Kiev.

Unless the vote was with neutral ( international) observers, which it wasn't, a vote under foreign military occupation is bullshit of the highest order.
